terraform.aws-baseline-infra/modules/util/awscli

awscli module

This module executes awscli and returns the output.

input variables

Set the temp credentials if role switching is needed. Otherwise, leave them alone.

variable	type	required	description
access_key	string	no	for role switching
secret_key	string	no	for role switching
session_token	string	no	for role switching
aws_cli_commands	string	yes	command and parameters after aws

output variable

Normally terraform only produces a simple map of string in output. To work around this, awscli outout are base64 encoded. The output variable is then base64decoded back to the original text.

variable	type	description
awscli_output	string	output from awscli

Usage example

module "awscli_exec" {
  source = "../../modules/util/awscli"

  access_key       = module.as_role.temp_credential.AccessKeyId
  secret_key       = module.as_role.temp_credential.SecretAccessKey
  session_token    = module.as_role.temp_credential.SessionToken
  aws_cli_commands = "ec2 describe-instances --query Reservations[].Instances[].InstanceId"
}

output awscli_output {
  value = module.awscli_exec.awscliout
}
